Dropped an antler already
« on: December 03, 2012, 05:17:52 PM »
Took this photo today of these two bulls.  Anyone ever see an elk drop an antler as early as December???  Don't know if this bull dropped an antler, lost it due to an injury or just didn't grow a right side antler.  Thoughts??

Never thought I'd see a calf with spots in December, but I did........was at the Oak creek feeding station..........even got a pic or two of it, just have to find them........nothing is set in stone when dealing with wild animals.   :twocents:

no way it's naturally shed yet.  Elk shed in March.  Probably an injury

The biggest Moose I ever shot (58") up in Canada had lost 1 horn that morning (shot it on November 11th) we found it laying in the snow 100 yards away so Why can't some big bull elk loose there's in December?
